Rite Edge Wood Peanut Folding Knife

The Rite Edge Wood Peanut has two polished stainless blades in a wood handle, closing to 3.5 inches on a slip joint.

The peanut is one of the smallest two-blade traditional patterns still made, named for its size, and it has stayed in production for over a century because a knife that small gets carried when a larger one does not. Wood on a peanut is a plain choice against the bone and celluloid the pattern usually wears, and it warms in the hand where those do not.

Both blades open on nail nicks over a slip joint, with no lock to release. Polished stainless shows the blades at their brightest, and stainless keeps upkeep low on a knife carried loose in a pocket. Explore more Traditional Knives.
